Beyond Standard Model Phenomenology at the LHC

This book provides an introduction to the physics of the Standard Model and beyond, and to the methods used to analyze Large Hadron Collider data. It presents a full phenomenological search for graviton emission in a multi-jet final state.

Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium Describes theoretical aspects of spin-2 particles, including their propagator and refers to the famous van Dam-Veltman discontinuity Presents a full phenomenological search for graviton emission, in the context of different BSM theories, in a multi-jet final state Includes a phenomenological study of gravitino emission in a multi-jet final state in the context of supersymmetric theories Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
